FARGO WOMEN'S GOAL SETTING SUMMIT

January 12th, 2024

Avalon Event Center

destined for more in 2024

You are called to be more joyful, more peaceful, more calm, and simply more you… And we will help you discover the goals that lead you to become your version of more.

Live Intentionally...

At the 2024 Women’s Goal Setting Summit you will learn how to continue growing into the best version of yourself. 

 

How do you want to take yourself to the next level in 2024? Do you want to achieve more? What does that really mean to you? Do you want to do less? How will you do that? 

 

We are all made for more. More doesn’t always mean filling our days to the max capacity. Doing more means finding true meaning in what we are doing and doing it with purpose and intentionality.

2024 Goal Setting

When you think of setting goals, what comes to mind?

 

Sometimes setting goals can feel heavy, especially when we feel the need to make monumental changes each January…

 

But this is the opposite of what we want you to get out of the Women’s Goal Setting Summit. We want you to feel a sense of relief going into 2024 knowing that you don’t need to do more, you are just called to be more.
